Thanks for posting. I wonder if others will follow or steady as she goes. Nice looking transitions that are not cheesy.

Well, several things but X has this one advantage: No track Tetris
Charlie, thought you might enjoy this one. 😉

My guess the next update will be a feature based one. Really would like to see keyframing and trimming improvements.

I wish for playback issues in Resolve gets resolved (pun intended) as there some very nice editing tools. The big ones are trimming and keyframing which is the weakest link in the chain as X is concerned. Once playback is fixed, FCP X will be used for organizing and editing can be done in Resolve, which should be trackless as well. Those darn tracks! 😉

I prefer organizing in FCP X over anything else. Tags can be created on the finder level and transition over. Also, metadata from the BMCC goes in as well. As long as the footage is in ProRes, raw not yet.
While never having used Speedgrade, I find Resolve very good. Much rather trim in Resolve, never been on a strong point of any version of Final Cut, same goes for keyframing. Sure you have to add on some extra stuff for FCP X, but in some instances you get to choose tools you want, even need. Much prefer this approach over rental only to avoid paying for things that are not necessary. Everyone is different.
As for After Effects, never cared for pre-comps as groups in Motion seem a better approach. They can act as both a pre-comp (minus the headaches) and as an adjustment layer, only affecting layers inside that group. Just beware any groups in there are affected as well.
Keeping an eye on Fusion, no pun intended. Looking at that to replaceAE and Photoshop for more complex work. Of course node based approach can present a challenge but not having to think in layers can be very liberating. Flowcharts are fun to look at. 🙂
Enough of my ranting, carry on!
Less clicking, more editing — the power of X!

Money saved can go to other equipment, such as a new camera or to other software. Saving up for Fusion Studio when it comes out for Mac OS X, no subscription required! 😉
Going to use the savings for a nice lens set and a shiny Mac Pro as well.

Did you get the memo? We’re putting cover sheets on all our TPS reports. Yeah.

I wonder if this is some marketing ploy to get those considering Adobe CC to switch to Avid instead. I doubt seriously that MC will have a free version but one never knows. Just look at at what BMD did with Fusion — no subscription model, free version is fully featured thogh not to the level of the Studio package. Somewhat surprised they have not entered into the audio side of the equation. Then again, that could change. What a strange year it has been!

No tracks in X just gave me an idea for a new signature: Less clicking, more editing, that is the power of X!

I had a LaCie bite the dust on me, so no go for now. I have good luck with G Technology thus far. A bit noisy but reliable.
